Abstract This project is about a swing, which is used by sea waves that produces electricity while being used. In its construction simple, the swinging action of the swing makes the horizontal beam member turns through some angle and continues it’s to and fro motion now in this motion is transferred to a link which transfers this angular motion into linear one as well as amplifies the same. This amplified motion is then transmitted to a free wheel that using flexible links. The free wheel turns this linear reciprocating motion in to circular one directional motion and transmits the same to flywheel. The flywheel is connected to a generator via a specific transmission to increase the speed at generator end. The generator converts the mechanical energy into electrical and thus electricity is produced. The swing generates electricity while being used only. The electricity that produced can be used for local use. The electricity that produced is cost free and is economical friendlier. In this power generation system produce an AC form. This is converted to DC and store the battery to further use. It can certainly lower down the load on main grid thus helping in saving electricity. This swing electricity power generator is not only generates electricity but it can be also very useful tool to educate children to learn to conserve energy. Along with this project uses that.

I. INTRODUCTION Renewable energy techniques are now turn out to be a more and more consideration as the years look the other way, not only for the reason that of the warning of environment variation but furthermore, e.g. due to severe pollution troubles in several countries and because the renewable energy technologies have full-fledged and can be depended upon an greater than ever level. The energy from ocean waves bares remarkable prospective as a source of renewable energy, and the associated technologies have persistently been enhanced for the period of the most recent decades [1]. Wave power refers to the energy of ocean surface waves and the capture of that energy to do helpful work. Sea waves are extremely hopeful energy delivery service among renewable power sources, in view of the fact that they are capable to manifest a massive magnitude of energy resources in almost all geographical regions [2]. Energy requirements of today’s world are on the rise day by day since the utilization of superior amount of electricity owed to increasing population [3]. Sea wave energy is being progressively more in several countries as a most important and promising resource [4]. Ocean waves are an enormous, for the most part available energy resource, and the potential for extracting energy from waves is considerable. Follow a line of investigations in this area is driven by the need to meet up the renewable energy targets, but is comparatively undeveloped compared to other renewable energy technologies [5]. Several wave energy converters have been urbanized in the earlier period century by way of different power takeoff systems, together with those devices with air turbines, linear electromagnetic motors, and hydroelectric components. Even though these systems have their own rewards, power takeoffs are still acknowledged as for the most part essential dispute in ocean wave energy technology [6]. In this paper, swing mechanism device is fabricated to produce the electrical power from the ocean waves in on shore of sea and also the electrical power outputs for different swing angle also calculated.
